A great crested grebe's neck and head curve up from the bottom of the page. Drawn in pencil, the grebe's neck is shades of warm grey and white, with bright red eyes and a bright red, orange, and brown crest of feathers around it's face and beak. The beak is drawn in black ink pointillism. The grebe is encircled by daffodils drawn in black and grey pointillism with ink.

Great Crested Grebe, Daffodils

Pencil and ink pointillism, 2022

A heron's neck curves up from the bottom right of the page to the top left, facing out to the right. The heron has a yellow, orange and pink beak, a bright yellow eye, and blue/grey feathers drawn in pencil. The top of the heron's head has a white patch of feathers and then thick black feathers. These are in pencil but drift out in pointillism strands, encircling the heron's body. The same happens with the feathers on the top of the heron's chest. The heron's neck becomes snake-like as it curves down, rendered in grey and black ink pointillism.

Coil

Sleep Well

Ink pointillism and pencil, 2019

A woman's face in pointillism looks out to the viewer. She is bald except for a few strands of hair that stretch out to the left of the page. There are three swan necks encircling the woman's torso and neck, covering her chest. A swan's head emerges from the left of the woman's face, drawn in pencil in shades of white, cream and grey with a bright orange beak. Three sets of wings also encircle, at the top, left, and right side of the page, in shades of white, cream and blue.

A green vine drops down from the top of the page and curves around like intestines inside a sparrow's body. The sparrow is drawn ink ink pointillism and its body floats horizontally towards the bottom of the page. The vine is drawn in pencil in shades of green, but as it moves through the sparrow it becomes strands of pointillism roots.

At the Root

Ink pointillism and pencil, 2019

The top of the piece has a pigeon looking out to the viewer with it's two wings stretched out to each side of the page. Below, there are two small orange birds with their legs entangled. The one on the left looks to the viewer while the one of the right looks to the one of the left. From the piegon's beak a vine drops down. The vine is a straight line at first, but then curves around, tangling around the three birds. At each section divided by the vine, there is either ink pointillism or pencil creating contrasting sections.

A gannet's head and beak points upwards from the page. The gannet is drawn in pencil with exaggerated colours - bright orange at the head, lilac at the base of the beak, and bright blue in the eye and sides of the beak. The beak is shades of peach and brown. The thick black sections of the beak and gannet's eye are drawn ink ink pointillism and continue to drain down in strands of dots to the bottom of the page.

'Perhaps it was Only the Pepper', Cerys Knighton, ink pointillism and pencil.jpg

Two swans with their necks tangled up with each other, moving from the bottom to the top of the page. The swan on the left is drawn in pencil, in shades of white, grey and cream with a bright orange beack. This swan looks out to the left of the page. The swan on the right is drawn in grey and black ink pointillism, its curves in to look at the viewer.

Disordered

Ink pointillism and pencil, 2019

A woman's face in two halves. The left half is drawn in pencil, with fair skin, red lips, brown eyes and long brown hair. The hair curves down to the chest and then forms like the base of a tree trunk and roots. The right side of the face is in pointillism and reveals the inside muscle texture as well as the clavicle, humerus and one seemingly disconnected rib. Some disconnected arteries are like branches with leaves. The eye is barely visible and the hair on this side is only represented by sparse strands of dots.
